Enjoying the view

        Today, after running a few errands my stomach began to grumble, and I realized I hadn't had breakfast. So I set forth to make a delicious egg and vegetable scramble with avocado . Once my meal was plated, I began to debate where I should consume this hearty meal. Should I eat it in my room, or in the living room vegging out in front of the television, or maybe in the kitchen...?  After running through the possibilities, I glanced outside and realized that it was a beautiful day out. I grabbed my plate, a cup of coffee, and made my way out to the patio. 


Once there, I began to soak up the sun's ultraviolet rays and relax with the meal I just prepared.  Being able to see and enjoy all the hard work I had put in was really gratifying. As my body was producing vitamin D, I looked around and began to make a mental list of what still needed to be done.  There was quite a bit left, but sitting down and enjoying the scenery, relaxed my mind enogh for me to notice the little details that were in need of attention.

Welcome to my garden!

I would like to introduce you to my backyard! Backyard say 'hello'.

'hello, please tend me'
'I am, i am. have you noticed me pulling weeds out?'
'Finally!'


Yes I do talk to my garden, got to show some good loving by breathing fresh Co2 all over!

Anyways, while I was away for the Fall semester, nobody took the time to maintain her. So I have a lot of catch up work to do, which has kept me busy. Currently I am pulling tons of weeds, multiple specie varieties, but still pain in the buttocks. During the week, I spend an hour a day in the yard tackling this over grown madness!

I have a few projects that need to be done, but the weeds gotta go first.

Projects include:
1.Pulling out all ivy
2.Cleaning out greenhouse
3.Placing weed block down around rose bushes, then barking area
4.Prepare existing vegetable beds
5.Assemble new raised beds

 THEN I get to deal with the front yard, which is also full of weeds! YAY:sigh:

Above is a picture of the ivy engulfing my plum tree, but its all gone!!

Until next time!
